In a joint operation, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh police recently gunned down three members of terror outfit Khalistan Zindabad Force at Pilibhit on Monday. The deceased militants were identified as Gurvinder Singh (25), Virender Singh alias Ravi (23) and Jaspreet Singh alias Pratap Singh (18) and all three hail from Gurdaspur.
